Please don't forget to leave a review to let me know you think and if there is anything you'd like to see.
"Babe, you gotta buckle."
Sarah jumped at Colby's voice. She heard him laugh as she opened her eyes. They were on the plane getting ready to leave California and head over to New York so Colby could do media. Colby had noticed Sarah was almost asleep and hated having to wake her up but they were about to take off which meant she had to buckle.
"I don't know what you're laughing at. You know I'm jumpy." Colby smiled as she sat up straighter and buckled her belt.
"I know. It's so easy to scare you." Sarah rolled her eyes.
"Blame my dad. He used to like to scare me all the time. You'd think I'd be immune to it by now." Colby laughed and reached over to grab her hand. Sarah turned and gave him a tired smile.
"Tired?" Sarah shrugged, running her fingertips over his hand.
"A little. But I have plans so I have to stay awake." Colby raised an eyebrow as Sarah gave him a lazy smile.
"And what are these plans?" Sarah kept the smile on her face.
"Well it involves me, you, and the bed back there. I gotta congratulate the champ properly." Colby groaned, feeling his jeans tighten until a thought hit him.
"Babe, as great as that sounds and trust me it does, do we really wanna have sex on your aunt and uncle's bed?" Sarah laughed and shook her head.
"Hell no. That'd be gross. There is an extra bed back there. Uncle Paul put it in when aunt Steph was pregnant with Aurora. She could never get comfortable so Paul thought having her own bed and space would help. But she barely ever used it."
Colby smirked.
"Count me in then sweetheart. You got me all excited now."
Sarah giggled and shrugged.
"Sorry Champ, but you gotta wait until we take off. Then we can roam the cabin."
Colby kept the smirk on his face.
"Don't you mean until I can roam your cabin?"
Sarah rolled her eyes but smiled anyways.
"That's a lovely pick up line."
Colby laughed.
"I try." Sarah giggled and sat back in her seat. A few minutes later, the plane took off. When they reached the right altitude, the seat buckle light turned off which meant they could get up. Colby hurriedly unbuckled and stood up before bending down and throwing Sarah over his shoulder just as she stood up from her own seat. She giggled wildly as he walked back to the bedroom. When he got back, he saw a twin sized bed a few feet away from the other.
"It's a little small."
He jumped when Sarah smacked his butt.
"We'll make it work. Unless you want to wait until we go back to California."
Colby scoffed and walked over, gently throwing her down on the bed, laughing when she bounced slightly.
"No way am I waiting." Sarah laughed, it growing louder when Colby fell onto the bed next to her. He grabbed her by the hips and pulled her so she was laying on top of him. Sarah cupped his cheeks with her hands, giggling softly when he kissed both of her palms.
Colby smiled and placed his hand on the back of her neck, pulling her lips down to meet his. Their kisses started off slow and intimate. Colby moved his hand from the back of her neck down her back to slip into the back pocket of the jeans she was wearing. Sarah gasped when he gave her ass a squeeze. Colby took the chance and slipped his tongue into her mouth.
Their tongues tangled together as they fought for dominance for a few minutes until Colby ultimately won the battle. As they continued kissing Sarah's hands left their position on her boyfriend's cheeks and started wandering south until they got to the hem of Colby's shirt. Colby suddenly got the hint and broke the kiss in order to sit up. Taking advantage Sarah held the hem in her hands as she worked the material up until she could tug it over Colby's head. When it was far enough the blonde tugged it up and over his head throwing it to the floor.
Colby watched with a smirk as Sarah threw his shirt.
"Now who can't wait," Colby teased, his smirk still in place.
Sarah grinned and shrugged earning a head shake from her boyfriend.
Colby reached out and used the hem of Sarah's shirt to pull her forward. Before Sarah could even register what he was about to do, Colby tugged her shirt over her head and dropped it with his. The architects eyes glazed over at the sight of Sarah clad in what looked like a violet silk bra with intricate black lace detailing. He let out a groan from his throat and wasted no time in connecting their lips together once again, showing his approval of her choice in lingerie.
Sarah wrapped her arms loosely around Colby's neck while Colby set his hands on her waist. As things became more passionate between the pair Colby quickly flipped them over so Sarah was underneath him.
Sarah moaned, lifting her legs to lock around his waist bringing them even closer together. Colby licked and sucked his way across her entire neck.
"Hmm Colbs."
Colby smirked as he continued the assault on his girlfriend's neck enjoying the sounds she was making.
Moving his lips from her neck Colby made a trail of kisses down her body starting from her neck and working his way down her stomach. Sarah let out a moan as she watched Colby continue his sensual route until he got to the waistband of her jeans.
Sarah unwound her legs from his waist before he stood up. He made quick work of pulling jeans off, leaving him in his boxers before returning his attention to Sarah wasting no time un un buckling her belt, the button and zipper on the jeans.
Pulling Sarah's jeans down her legs he tugged them off and threw them on the floor with their clothes.
Sarah let out a soft moan when he caressed her legs. She didn't even realize her panties were off and Colby was on the floor in front of her until she felt the first flick of his tongue on her wet folds.
Her eyes rolled to the back of her head as her hips lifted up to grind against his tongue. She heard him chuckle as he pushed her hips back down and held them to the bed.
"Colby!" She moaned loudly as his lips covered her little bud as he sucked on it.
Sarah lied back as Colby continued soon pushing two fingers into her, making Sarah moan louder as her head thrashed against the bed. Stars began to burst behind her eyelids as she felt the familiar tightening in her belly.
"Come on baby. Cum for me."
With another thrust of his fingers, Sarah screamed his name as her walls tightened as Colby licked up everything she gave him.
Sarah's heart thumped in her chest. Once she recovered she opened her eyes and looked at Colby.
"That was amazing." He smirked, wiping her juices from his beard and face.
Sarah shared his smirk. "It was but this is your celebration. I think it's only fair I return the favor."
Sitting up, she bent down and cupped his cheeks and gave him a slow, lingering kiss. She stood up in front of him before walking around so she was behind him. Colby turned around and the two kissed passionately. Sarah pulled away and started making a trail of hot, kisses down his body.
Colby groaned and watched through half lidded eyes as she continued her sensual route. Once she got to the top of his boxers she slowly slid them down his legs and tossed them on the pile with their other clothes. Turning back she licked her lips seeing her boyfriend's huge erection.
Colby tossed his head back and hissed as she took him in her mouth. His grip tightened in her hair as she slowly bobbed her head back and forth.
"Fuck sweetheart."
Sarah continued the action as she kept hearing Colby moan.
"That feels so damn good."
Sarah winked and moved so her right hand was following her mouth on his shaft.
Colby had his eyes screwed shut as a string of curse words left his mouth. Sarah set a steady rhythm with her mouth determined to make sure that Colby really enjoyed it.
Colby let out a low groan from his throat when Sarah took him further into her mouth.
If she carried on then that way he wouldn't last.
"God Sar. Don't stop."
Ten minutes of pleasure later and Colby's breathing was becoming shallow. More curses emanating from his mouth as his orgasm was building.
He was close. Sarah could tell when his dick started twitching in her mouth.
"Come on baby. Cum for me." She repeated the words he said to her only minutes before.
Colby groaned and tightened the grip in her hair as cum shot out of him. Sarah had to stop from gagging when it hit the back of her throat. Instead she continued to suck him while swallowing everything he gave her.
Pulling her lips away Sarah stood up and wiped her mouth.
"You good?" Sarah smiled at Colby who was still breathing heavy.
He looked down at her and nodded.
"I'm perfect. Come here." He pulled her up and turned them around before pushing her down on the bed.
Sarah bit her lip and crawled back until she was laying against the pillows.
Twenty minutes later, Colby rolled off of Sarah, both breathing harshly after their intense orgasms. Sarah pushed back the hair that was stuck to her sweaty forehead.
"That was amazing."
Colby looked over at, a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Sweetheart. You sure know how to boost a mans ego."
Sarah giggled and rolled over to lay her head on his sweaty chest.
"We should probably get up and shower. I got to be dressed and ready to go as soon as we land."
"Just a few more minutes." Sarah mumbled, a yawn escaping her mouth.
Colby chuckled and wrapped his arm around her, content with not moving for a few more minutes.
Four hours later, the plan landed and both Colby and Sarah were freshly showered and changed. When they landed, they made their way out of the plane and onto the private landing strip where a black SUV was waiting for them.
A woman was standing outside the car and smiled at them as they descended the plane stairs.
"Hello Mr. Lopez, I'm Louise. I'm from the Hatford headquarters. I'll be your PR person today."
Colby nodded and shook her hand.
"It's nice to meet you. This is my girlfriend, Sarah."
Sarah smiled and shook Louise's hand.
"It's nice to meet both of you. We should get going."
The pair nodded and Colby opened the car door, allowing Sarah to get in. She smiled and pecked his cheek before sliding into the car, Colby following her. Sarah sat in the middle seat, Colby to her left, and Louise on her right.
"So what's on the schedule today?" Colby asked as Sarah held his hand in her lap.
"We've only got two shows so it won't be to bad." She handed Colby a sheet of paper that had his schedule on it. "You've got The Today Show at eight thirty and then The Daily Show with Jon Stewart tapping at ten thirty."
Colby nodded.
"That's not bad at all. Do you know what we'll be talking about?"
Sarah zoned out, watching out the window as they drove towards New York City. A soft smile formed on her face. She always loved the city. She especially loved going during the winter time to see the big tree in Rockefeller Center.
Her smile grew as she a memory hit her.
"Oh my god!" Sarah laughed as Brooklyn screamed and held onto her uncle's arm.
"Brook easy!" Shane said as he held his niece up. They were walking towards Rockefeller center to watch the lighting of the tree and Brooklyn hadn't seen the patch of ice right in front of her until she slipped and almost fell.
Sarah, Shane's wife Marissa, and their three children all laughed as Shane steadied Brooklyn as she stood up straight.
"You okay?"
Brooklyn nodded and fixed the beanie on her head.
"Fine. Thanks for catching me uncle Shane."
"You're welcome. You're lucky I have some muscles or I would have gone down with you." Brooklyn laughed as the group continued to walk towards the crowd of people.
Sarah smiled as they all stepped up to the fence that surrounded the tree.
"Wow!" Kenny, one of Shane's sons, exclaimed. Shane laughed and held his son's hand while Marissa held onto the stroller that had two year old, Rogan in it, and Brooklyn was holding the hand of Shane's oldest son, Declan.
"Where are the lights?" Kenny asked.
"They're on there but they're not on yet. They should be turning them on in..." Shane moved his coat so he could look at his watch. "In about fifteen minutes."
"Fifteen? If I had known that we'd be out there this long I would have brought coffee." Shane rolled his eyes at his wife as she made sure Rogan was covered up.
"It's not that bad out, 'Rissa."
"Then why is your face so red, uncle Shane?" Sarah asked with a giggle. Shane sucked his teeth.
"None of your business."
Sarah laughed. They waited the fifteen minutes until the countdown started to the lights coming one.
"One!" With that, the men connected the lights and the whole tree illuminated. Sarah and Brooklyn smiled wide.
"It's so beautiful." Sarah said, getting a nod of agreement from her bestfriend.
"I can't wait to bring my family here one day." Brooklyn said with a smile as she gazed at the tree.
"You'd have to find someone who can handle your crazy ass." Sarah teased. Brooklyn rolled her eyes as Shane and Marissa laughed.
"They'd have to be just as crazy as her." Brooklyn scowled as they all laughed again.
"I'm not crazy and neither is my future husband!" They just laughed again.
"Sure he's not."
Sarah couldn't help but let out a laugh. Louise and Colby both looked at her confused. When she realized she had laughed out loud, she blushed a deep red.
"What's got you laughing, Sweetheart?"
Sarah looked overat him.
"I was just thinking about a couple years ago. Brook and I came to New York City to go see the tree lighting cermony with Shane, his wife and kids. Brook said one day she wanted to take her own family there and we teased her saying whoever married her would have to be someone who can deal with her craziness."
Colby laughed.
"Yea and look. She found Jon. Two crazy's together forever."
Sarah laughed and lent into his side.
"When we get there, I have to give them a list of topics you're not up to discussing. Is there anything in particular?"
Colby looked down at Sarah, who was playing with his fingers, before looking back up at Louise.
"My personal life isn't something I want to talk about. I don't want to mention Sarah. I don't want her to have to deal with all the hate online."
Sarah smiled up at Colby.
"Colby I'd be fine. You can talk about me if you want."
"I'd love to babe but you don't deserve to be dragged through the mud and scrutinized."
Sarah couldn't help but smile at his protectiveness over her. She reached up and kissed his cheek before sitting back.
Ten minutes later, the car pulled up outside the studio. The doors soon opened and Sarah, Colby, and Louise all stepped out of the car. Some fans who were gathered outside started screaming and waving. Colby waved at them as he, Sarah, and Louise were all whisked away inside The Today Show studio.
They all came to a stop outside a door when the shows producer came out. After saying a quick hello to Colby she was running through the shows running order with Louise.
Colby looked at Sarah and smiled. "Wanna have ourselves a little date after I'm done?"
Sarah smiled up at him.
"What did you have in mind?"
"Neither of us have eaten yet so I thought I could take you some where nice for brunch or something.
"Brunch? Someone's getting fancy." Colby rolled his eyes.
"It was a simple yes or no question. No need to make fun of me."
Sarah giggled. She was ready to say yes before it dawned on her that they'd have to fly back to California for Raw.
"I'd like that but we have to fly back for Raw. You know how Uncle Paul is with talent check in." Sarah sighed. "It was a good idea though."
Colby smirked. "And what if I told you I already told Paul we'd b grabbing food after so will be a little late for check in."
"And he was okay with that?"
"Of course he was. He loves me."
Sarah laughed and shook her head.
"Don't get it twisted, Sellout. He loves me, not you."
Colby pinched her side, making her giggle while he scowled. "You know, you can be so mean to me. You've been hanging around with Brook for too long."
Sarah shrugged. "What can I say I picked up a lot, Lopez.
Colby rolled his eyes. "Now you're calling me Lopez? That's it, no more hanging out with Brooklyn."
Sarah laughed and looped her arms around his neck.
"I'm just teasing."
Colby just hummed as Sarah stood on her tippy toes to peck his lips.
"I love you."
"Sure you do."
Sarah whacked him in the stomach. Colby laughed and wrapped his arms around her.
"I'm kidding."
"Fuck you."
Colby smirked. "We already did that."
Sarah rolled her eyes.
"Yea and it won't be happening again anytime soon if you don't shut it."
Colby mimed like he was zipping his lips, making Sarah laugh. The pair stood together until it was Colby's turn for his segment.
Sarah and Louise stood behind the camera watching as Colby was interviewed by Al Roker, Willie Geist, and Tamron Hall.
Sarah couldn't help the smile that formed on her face while listening to Colby as he played his role as Seth Rollins.
She could always see the joy in his eyes when he talked about wrestling. She could especially see the joy when he talked about his big Wrestlemania moment and walking away as the new champion last night.
While Colby was showing the video package of the interviewer's as their favorite wrestlers, Sarah felt her phone vibrating in her clutch. She quickly pulled it out to silence it. She saw a message gtom her father on the screen.
Sliding her thumb across the lock, the phone opened and Sarah read the message.
Hey Honeybee. How's New York? Have you told Colby about his bitch of a mom yet?
Sarah took a deep breath. She knew if she didn't tell Colby, her father would. She wanted to tell him but she also didn't want to cause any problems. And then there was the small thought in the back of her head.
What if he doesn't believe me?
Sarah knew Colby would know she wasn't lying but the again, who knew for sure?
Taking a deep breath, she typed out a message to her father.
New York is good. Beautiful like always. No I haven't told Colby yet but I will, I promise.
Pressing send, she held onto her phone, waiting for his response. It came just a few minutes later.
You better or I will. He needs to know how awful she's been to you. Text me or your mom when you're getting ready to fly back here. I love you.
Sarah sighed and responded.
I love you too.
After sending the text, she locked her phone and put it back in her purse just as Colby's segment was finishing up.
Sarah smiled at Colby as he walked over to her.
"Hey! You did great."
Colby smiled and pecked her lips.
"Thank you, Sweetheart."
"She's right, Colby. You did great. So we're gonna wrap up here then head over to do The Daily Show taping and then you'll be free to go."
Colby nodded and wrapped an arm around Sarah's waist.
Two hours passed and Colby and Sarah were finally free to go to brunch.
"God it's exhausting to be champ."
Sarah laughed as she looked through her menu to see what she wanted.
"It'll only get busier, you know."
"Yea I know but the champ's gotta do, what the champ's gotta do." He gave her a goofy grin that made her giggle.
While they were looking through the menu, Colby's phone started to go off.
Sarah watched as he reached into his pants pocket before pulling the phone out.
"Who is it?" She asked as she took a sip of her water.
"My mom. Probably calling to chew me out for not telling her we landed safely."
Sara watched as he pushed answer and put the phone to his ear.
"Hello?"
"Morning honey. Just wanted to call and make sure everything was okay. I didn't get a call from you this telling me you got there safe."
"I know and I'm sorry. I didn't have much time to call but we got here safe. I just finished up at The Daily Show and we're grabbing a quick bite to eat before heading to the plane."
Sarah looked around as Colby talked to his mother. She knew she had to bring up how his mother hated her but she didn't know how. She didn't want to be the cause of a fight between them. And there was always that nagging thought of what if Colby didn't believe her?
What if he accused her of lying?
She knew the odds of that were slim but it was still a concern she had. But she knew she had to do it. If she didn't, her dad would and she knew that wouldn't go over very well.
Sighing, she stirred her straw around in her drink as Colby spoke.
"Alright mom I promise I will call when we get back to California. I love you too. Do you wanna say hi to Sarah?"
"No it's fine honey. Just tell her I said hello. I'll see you when you get back. I love you."
"Okay," Colby said furrowing his eyebrows, wondering why his mother didn't wanna talk to Sarah herself. Sarah wasn't surprised his mother had turned the offer down. "I love you too. Bye."
Colby pushed the end button before locking the phone and sliding it back into his pocket.
"Mom says hi."
Sarah gave him a small smile. She knew now was a good time to bring the subject up. Taking a deep breath, she looked at her boyfriend.
"Colby?"
"Yea?" He responded, still looking over his menu.
"Can I talk to you about something?"
Colby picked up on the tone she used. Looking up, he saw serious expression on her face.
"Of course baby. What's up?"
Sarah began to twist her hands together nervously.
"Well I um, I don't really know how to bring this up."
Colby furrowed his eyebrows. He had never seen Sarah like this before and it worried him. What di she need to bring up? Had he done something wrong?
"It's okay, Sar, just take your time." He cleared his throat as he looked down at his menu. "Did I...Did I do something wrong?"
Sarah's eyes widened and she shook her head, immediately grabbing his hand in hers.
"No of course not."
Colby immediately relaxed and gave her a small smile.
"That's a relief. So what's up?"
Sarah bit her lip and let the grip he had on her hand calm her.
"It's about your mom."
Colby furrowed his eyebrows.
"What about her?"
Sarah swallowed hard before continuing.
"She um, she doesn't like me very much."
Colby couldn't help but chuckle.
"What are you talking about, Sar? She loves you. My whole family does."
His answer made her heart clench but she knew he didn't say it to discredit her. It was what he truly believed. But she had to tell him the truth.
She slowly shook her head.
"I didn't tell you when it happened but remember the first time I met them? When your mom and I went to the bathroom?"
Colby nodded and Sarah took a deep breath.
"She told me I had to drop the good girl act. That she saw right through me and knew I was only with you to use you like your other girlfriend's did and that I had better leave if that was the case. Then last night when you were changing she said the only reason I was happy you won was because of the pay raise you'd get. She keeps calling me a gold digger. She doesn't believe or see how much I really care for about you."
She didn't realize she was crying until Colby let go of her hand to wipe the tears off of her face.
"Shh baby. I had no idea Sar. Why didn't you tell me all this before?"
Colby was mad. He sensed something was off with his mother but he couldn't put his finger on it. He knew his mother was protective but she should have been able to see how different Sarah and Colby's relationship was.
Sarah sighed and wiped the remaining tears off of her face.
"Because I didn't want to cause any problems between you guys. You already had so much on your plate for the week. Then you won the title and I didn't want to ruin your mood last night."
Colby shook his head.
"Sarah, you should have told me. I would have put this all to end before Wrestlemania. You don't deserve to be spoke to that way especially from my mom."
"I mean at first I understood where she came from but she wouldn't even listen to me. I tried to tell her many times that I in no way shape or form cared about your earnings or anything like that but she just kept blowing me off."
Colby shook his head again.
"I'm gonna call her." He pulled his phone back out but Sarah stopped him.
"No, you don't have to do it right now."
"Sarah, you are clearly upset. She has no reason to act this way towards you despite what happened in my past."
Sarah could tell his was pissed and held his hand tighter.
"I get it but just don't do it here okay? There's to many people. Why don't you wait until we get back on the plane? Or wait until you see her later? You're angry right now and I don't want you to say anything you'll regret.
Colby sighed angrily. He knew Sarah was right. He was angry and he knew he would say something he'd regret later. Besides, it probably wasn't best to make a scene.
"Okay, fine."
Sarah nodded and sat back in her seat.
"I'm sorry I kept it from you."
"I know but you should have told me. I could have stopped this sooner. You don't deserve what she's been saying."
Sarah nodded and kissed the hand she was holding.
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay, Sar. Just know I love you more than anything in this world. Don't let my mother's words get you down. You are one of the best things that has ever happened to me." Sarah smiled.
"You're one of the best things that has ever happened to me too."
/*/
It was around three o'clock in the afternoon when Colby and Sarah landed back in California. Loading all their bags into the car that was waiting for them, the couple got in the backseat and buckled up.
"I'm gonna call my mom."
Sarah nodded and grabbed onto his hand, knowing he'd want some support. Sarah could tell Colby was a mama's boy which meant he hated arguing with her.
Colby pulled his cellphone out of his pants pocket. Unlocking it, he went to his mother's contact. His thumb hovered over it for a minute before he pushed it and put the phone on speaker.
"You want me to hear it?"
Colby nodded and squeezed her hand as the phone rang. After the fourth ring, it finally picked up.
"Hi honey. On your way back?"
"Yea we're in the car on the way to the arena. Listen mom, I've gotta talk to you about something."
"Sure honey. Everything okay?"
"Everything's fine. It's about Sarah."
"What about her?"
Colby swallowed hard as he tried to control his anger.
"She told me what you've been saying."
The other end of the phone immediately went quiet.
Sarah and Colby looked at each other before Colby looked back at his phone.
"I um, I don't know what you mean, Colby. I haven't been saying anything."
Colby clenched his jaw.
"Mom, I know you're lying. She told me everything. How could you say those things about her?"
"Because I know girls like her, Colby. You've already been with two of them. I wasn't going to let another girl break your heart."
"Sarah is nothing like Leighla or Zahra. She is way better than them and I know she loves me for me. Not because of what I do or the money I make. Can't you see how much happier she makes me?"
Sarah rubbed Colby's hand, trying to get him to calm down. He looked over at her and let out an angry sigh.
"I just didn't want you hurt again."
"I know mom but you still had no right to say those things. The mom I know would give her a chance instead of just assuming."
"Well look how well that worked out the last time, Colby. I'm tired of giving these girls a chance, only to watch her break you."
"Yea well even if something like that fucking happened again, guess what mom? I'd handle it. Because I'm a big boy now and can handle my own problems."
"What do you want from me, Colby?"
"To apologize to Sarah. And if this still continues, you can forget me coming home this week. I'd rather go to Hartford and hangout with my girlfriend than be around someone who degraded her."
They both heard Holly sigh.
"Alright, I will apologize. Is she there with you?"
"Yea but I think this should be something that is done in person. So I'll let you know when we get to the arena."
"Alright. I love you, Colby."
Colby sighed.
"I love you too."
He hung up the phone and sighed heavily.
Sarah kept a hold of his hand.
"You okay?"
Colby looked over at her and nodded.
"I'm fine. I wish you had told me sooner."
"I know but I didn't want to-."
"I know. But you still should have told me sooner."
Sarah looked over his face.
"Are you mad at me?"
Colby shook his head.
"No, I'm not mad at you Sar. I just wish you told me sooner so I could have stopped it sooner. I don't want anyone ever talking bad about you. Especially my family."
Sarah gave him a sad smile and cupped his cheek. Sarah knew people were always going to have opinions about her and not all of them would be great. But when they talked about her relationship and her intentions, like his mother did, it really struck a nerve.
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"For sticking up for me. I was kind of afraid that when I told you, it would cause an argument between us instead of you and your mom."
Colby shook his head.
"Sar, we haven't fought yet and we've been together for three months. I think we're good."
Sarah laughed softly.
"Colby, all couples fight. I'm sure our first one will happen sometime. I'm just happy it wasn't over this.
Colby smiled.
"Me too."
Sarah smiled and pecked his lips before snuggling into his side.
"And for the record, if we fought, I definitely wouldn't let you win that easy."
Sarah rolled her eyes.
"We'll see about that."
